The media watchdog told The Sun Online: “We are assessing these complaints against our broadcasting rules, before deciding whether or not to investigate.”

Last night fans of the show were left shocked when the former Emmerdale actress claimed she was “punched” by Ryan “like a boxer would punch a bag” and accused him of being a “woman beater”.

The former Coronation Street actor was given a formal warning by Big Brother after Roxanne demanded to speak to a producer about something which made her feel “very uncomfortable” following a play fight between the pair, and she later asked for him to be booted off the show.

After it aired hundreds off fans took to Twitter to reveal they had lodged complaints with Ofcom and asked for her “kicked out of the house”, claiming she was “making a mockery of abuse victims”.

One person tweeted: “I’ve just logged a complaint with ofcom (took less than 5 mins)…by #cbb issuing a warning to Ryan, it demonstrates #cbb accepts that Ryan had intent to hurt or upset her, this was clearly not the case; #cbb and @RoxannePallett should apologies immediately.”

Another commented: “@Ofcom To whom it may concern. I like to make a formal complaint against happenings on #CBB…”
